The best courses you can play in Berkeley, California

“#TLDR: Presidio is a world-class municipal course, but our overall experience left a lot to be desired. Scenery (4.5/5) The towering cypress trees, San Francisco Hills, and glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge remind you you’re in a special city.”

“Playing the course in a tournament with tournament tees and tournament pins really lets TPC Harding Park shine. Nothing overly special about the architecture, just very solid overall. Great atmosphere and lots of great views. Good variety of holes and shots required.”

“Such an incredibly fun course and I only like it more each time I play it. Wild greens but super approachable - 8/9 holes don’t require any carry from the tee. Only 1 bunker on the course but lots of waste areas. Generally plays pretty wet given how close it is to Ocean Beach.”

“Muni designed by Alister MacKenzie. Conditions are a bit rough though the greens are always in pretty good shape.”

“Very rolling property - tons of hazards that are almost always on the right of the hole. Some gimmicky holes with a few split fairways. Handful of short par 4’s. Greens were well maintained and pretty consistent.”

“Right next to Oakland airport cool to have planes fly over. Super cheap to walk especially for Oakland residents. Greens are in good shape, back tee boxes are like fluffy not a huge fan of them but the course is almost always getting gusty and makes for some of the holes to be really challenging.”

“Sneaky hard, front nine asks for a lot of tough tee shots. Greens are bad, not consistent semi punched always. At least that’s what it feels like. Gonna be hard to find better views from some of the spots on the course.”
